Legal claims defining the scope of protection, as filed with the USPTO.
1. A call connecting apparatus of a mobile communication terminal for connecting a call with motion information of a user when receiving a call, the apparatus comprising: a communication module provided to the mobile communication terminal, wherein the communication module transmits and receives a communication signal; a camera unit provided to the mobile communication terminal, wherein the camera unit collects images of the user's shaking or turning motion, converts the images to digital image signals, and outputs an angle signal or a speed signal; and a control unit which outputs an operation signal to the camera unit when the communication module receives a call so that the camera unit automatically films the user's shaking or turning motion upon receipt of the call, and which outputs a control signal corresponding to the user's shaking or turning motion when a signal connected with the user's shaking or turning motion automatically filmed is inputted from the camera unit, thereby stopping or connecting the call, wherein the camera unit includes a motion signal detector which extracts the angle signal or the speed signal from the digital image signals, wherein the control unit includes an image recognizer which compares the signal inputted from the camera unit with a reference signal previously stored in the control unit and determines whether the user is a registered user of the mobile communication terminal based on a comparison result, wherein the control unit operates the motion signal detector to calculate and detect an angle or speed of the user's shaking or turning motion when the image recognizer determines the user is the registered user of the mobile communication terminal, wherein the control unit stops the call if the angle of the user's shaking or turning motion is less than 30 degree while connecting the call if the angle is equal to or more than 30 degree but less than 90 degree, in case that the motion signal detector extracts the angle signal from the digital image signals, wherein the control unit stops the call if the speed of the user's shaking or turning motion is less than 3 centimeter per second (cm/sec) while connecting the call if the speed is equal to or more than 3 cm/sec, in case that the motion signal detector extracts the speed signal from the digital image signals.
